Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Angular Animations version 6.1.7 represents a minor update over the preceding 6.1.6, both focused on integrating animations within Angular applications, utilizing the Web Animations API. While retaining the same core functionality described as "Angular - animations integration with web-animations," and sharing identical dependencies like tslib and a peer dependency on specific Angular core versions (6.1.7 and 6.1.6 respectively), the key distinction lies in the release date. Version 6.1.7 arrived on September 6, 2018, subsequent to 6.1.6's release on August 29, 2018.

For developers employing the @angular/animations package, this means that upgrading from 6.1.6 to 6.1.7 likely incorporates bug fixes, performance enhancements, or minor refinements introduced during that week-long interval. Although the fileCount and unpackedSize remain constant implying no substantial structural alterations, the update demonstrates Angular's ongoing maintenance and commitment to stability. Those seeking the most recent enhancements and resolutions should prefer 6.1.7. A minimal upgrade is expected given the shared dependencies and the patch version increment. Ensure the @angular/core peer depencency is also upgraded accordingly. Both versions are distributed under the MIT license and are part of the angular/angular repository, providing access to a range of animation features leveraging the Web Animations API.
